Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid removal composition and process useful for silicate stripping, e.g., liquid removal of sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material and/or post-etch residue from a microelectronic device having such material deposited thereon, particularly where the sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material is present with underlying silicate materials and interconnect metals, e.g., aluminum, copper and cobalt alloy, desired to be unaffected by the liquid removal composition.
- silicate stripping e.g., liquid removal of sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material and/or post-etch residue from a microelectronic device having such material deposited thereon, particularly where the sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material is present with underlying silicate materials and interconnect metals, e.g., aluminum, copper and cobalt alloy, desired to be unaffected by the liquid removal composition.
- the transmissivity of photoresist combined with the high reflectivity of the substrate to the DUV wavelengths results in the reflection of the DUV radiation back into the photoresist thereby producing standing waves in the photoresist layer.
- the standing waves trigger further photochemical reactions in the photoresist causing an uneven exposure of the photoresist, including in the masked portions not intended to be exposed to the radiation, which results in variations in linewidths, spacing, and other critical dimensions.
- bi- and tri-layer photoresists In order to address the transmissivity and reflectivity problems, bi- and tri-layer photoresists, bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARCs) and sacrificial anti-reflective coatings (SARCs) have been developed; these coatings are applied to substrates prior to applying the photoresist. All of these antireflective coatings have a planarizing effect on wafer surfaces encountered in typical dual damascene integration and all incorporate a UV chromophore into a spin-on polymer matrix which will absorb incident UV radiation.
- BARCs bottom anti-reflective coatings
- SARCs sacrificial anti-reflective coatings
- SARCs When used with SiOC-based dielectrics, SARCs have two important advantages: SARCs are TEOS-based and thus etch at the same rate as SiOC dielectrics, which allows for much greater etch uniformity and control such that the trench etch stop can be eliminated and via etch stop can be reduced in thickness by up to 50%; and etched SARCs can be removed using liquid removal compositions because there is not a significant increase in post-etch cross-linking in etched SARCs relative to etched photoresist and etched BARCs.
- the clean removal of SARC materials from the microelectronic device wafer has proven to be difficult and/or costly. If not removed, the layers may interfere with subsequent silicidation or contact formation. Typically, the layers are removed by oxidative or reductive plasma ashing or wet cleaning. However, plasma ashing, whereby the substrate is exposed to an oxidative or reductive plasma etch, may result in damage to the dielectric material, either by changing the feature shapes and dimensions, or by increasing the dielectric constant. The latter problem is more pronounced when low-k dielectric materials, such as organosilicate glasses (OSG) or carbon-doped oxide glasses, are the underlying dielectric material. As such, it is often desirable to avoid the use of plasma ashing to remove the SARC layers.
- OSG organosilicate glasses
- a cleaner/etchant composition When a cleaner/etchant composition is used in back-end-of-line (BEOL) applications to process aluminum, copper, cobalt alloy or other interconnect metal or interconnect barrier separated by low capacitance (low-k) insulating material or dielectric, it is important that the compositions used to remove SARCs possess good metal compatibility, e.g., a low etch rate on copper, aluminum, cobalt, etc., and that the underlying silicate materials remain unaffected by the cleaner composition.
- Aqueous removal solutions are preferred because of the simpler disposal techniques, however, aqueous removal solutions are known to etch or corrode the metal interconnects.
- the present invention relates to a liquid removal composition and process useful for the removal of sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material from the surface of a microelectronic device having such material deposited thereon, particularly where the sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material is present with underlying silicate materials and interconnect metals desired to be unaffected by the liquid removal composition.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a liquid removal composition and process useful for silicate stripping, e.g., liquid removal of sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material and/or post-etch residue from a microelectronic device having such material deposited thereon, particularly where the sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material is present with underlying silicate materials and interconnect metals, e.g., aluminum, copper and cobalt alloy, desired to be unaffected by the liquid removal composition.
- Currently, there are four developed wavelengths of radiation used in the photolithographic industry—436 nm, 365 nm, 248 nm, and 193 nm—and recent efforts have focused on 157 nm lithography processes. In theory, with each wavelength decrease, smaller features can be created on the semiconductor chip. However, because the reflectivity of the microelectronic device substrate is inversely proportional to the photolithographic wavelength, interference and unevenly exposed photoresist have limited the consistency of the critical dimensions of the microelectronic device.
- For example, upon exposure to DUV radiation, it is well known that the transmissivity of photoresist combined with the high reflectivity of the substrate to the DUV wavelengths results in the reflection of the DUV radiation back into the photoresist thereby producing standing waves in the photoresist layer. The standing waves trigger further photochemical reactions in the photoresist causing an uneven exposure of the photoresist, including in the masked portions not intended to be exposed to the radiation, which results in variations in linewidths, spacing, and other critical dimensions.
- In order to address the transmissivity and reflectivity problems, bi- and tri-layer photoresists, bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARCs) and sacrificial anti-reflective coatings (SARCs) have been developed; these coatings are applied to substrates prior to applying the photoresist. All of these antireflective coatings have a planarizing effect on wafer surfaces encountered in typical dual damascene integration and all incorporate a UV chromophore into a spin-on polymer matrix which will absorb incident UV radiation.
- When used with SiOC-based dielectrics, SARCs have two important advantages: SARCs are TEOS-based and thus etch at the same rate as SiOC dielectrics, which allows for much greater etch uniformity and control such that the trench etch stop can be eliminated and via etch stop can be reduced in thickness by up to 50%; and etched SARCs can be removed using liquid removal compositions because there is not a significant increase in post-etch cross-linking in etched SARCs relative to etched photoresist and etched BARCs.
- The clean removal of SARC materials from the microelectronic device wafer has proven to be difficult and/or costly. If not removed, the layers may interfere with subsequent silicidation or contact formation. Typically, the layers are removed by oxidative or reductive plasma ashing or wet cleaning. However, plasma ashing, whereby the substrate is exposed to an oxidative or reductive plasma etch, may result in damage to the dielectric material, either by changing the feature shapes and dimensions, or by increasing the dielectric constant. The latter problem is more pronounced when low-k dielectric materials, such as organosilicate glasses (OSG) or carbon-doped oxide glasses, are the underlying dielectric material. As such, it is often desirable to avoid the use of plasma ashing to remove the SARC layers.
- When a cleaner/etchant composition is used in back-end-of-line (BEOL) applications to process aluminum, copper, cobalt alloy or other interconnect metal or interconnect barrier separated by low capacitance (low-k) insulating material or dielectric, it is important that the compositions used to remove SARCs possess good metal compatibility, e.g., a low etch rate on copper, aluminum, cobalt, etc., and that the underlying silicate materials remain unaffected by the cleaner composition. Aqueous removal solutions are preferred because of the simpler disposal techniques, however, aqueous removal solutions are known to etch or corrode the metal interconnects.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art for removal compositions having low water content which can completely and efficiently remove SARC layers from the surface of the microelectronic device while simultaneously minimizing damage to the co-extensively present dielectric materials and/or interconnect metals.
- The present invention relates to a liquid removal composition and process useful for the removal of sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material from the surface of a microelectronic device having such material deposited thereon, particularly where the sacrificial anti-reflective silicate material is present with underlying silicate materials and interconnect metals desired to be unaffected by the liquid removal composition.

Alternatively, gaseous anhydrous hydrogen fluoride may be used so that the only water present in the formulation is trace water originating from the solvents. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride-containing formulations typically display better metal and dielectric compatibility than water-containing formulations.

- The liquid removal compositions of the invention are easily formulated by simple addition of the respective ingredients and mixing to homogeneous condition. Furthermore, the liquid removal compositions may be readily formulated as single-package formulations or multi-part formulations that are mixed at or before the point of use, e.g., the individual parts of the multi-part formulation may be mixed at the tool or in a storage tank upstream of the tool. The concentrations of the respective ingredients may be widely varied in specific multiples of the liquid removal composition, i.e., more dilute or more concentrated, in the broad practice of the invention, and it will be appreciated that the liquid removal compositions of the invention can variously and alternatively comprise, consist or consist essentially of any combination of ingredients consistent with the disclosure herein.
- Accordingly, another aspect of the invention relates to a kit including, in one or more containers, one or more components adapted to form the compositions of the invention. For example, the kit may include, in one or more containers, at least one fluoride-containing compound, optionally at least one organic solvent, optionally an acid-base buffer, optionally at least one chelator/passivation agent, for combining with the optional water at the fab or the point of use. Alternatively, the kit may include, in one or more containers, at least one fluoride-containing compound, optionally an acid-base buffer, optionally at least one chelator/passivation agent, for combining with the optional water and optional at least one organic solvent at the fab or the point of use. The containers of the kit must be suitable for storing and shipping said liquid removal compositions, for example, NOWPak® containers (Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., Danbury, Conn., USA).

Importantly, the residue material may be dissolved and/or suspended in the liquid removal composition of the invention.
- The removal compositions of the invention are easily formulated by simple addition of the respective ingredients and mixing to homogeneous condition.
- In removal application, the removal composition is applied in any suitable manner to the microelectronic device to be cleaned, e.g., by spraying the removal composition on the surface of the microelectronic device, by dipping the microelectronic device in a volume of the cleaning composition, by contacting the microelectronic device to be cleaned with another material, e.g., a pad, or fibrous sorbent applicator element, that is saturated with the removal composition, by contacting the microelectronic device with a circulating removal composition, or by any other suitable means, manner or technique, by which the removal composition is brought into removal contact with microelectronic device to be cleaned.
- As applied to semiconductor manufacturing operations, the cleaning compositions of the present invention are usefully employed to remove SARC and/or post-etch residue materials from microelectronic device structures having such material(s) thereon.
- The compositions of the present invention, by virtue of their selectivity for such SARC materials, relative to other materials that may be present on the microelectronic device and exposed to the removal composition, such as ILD structures, metallization, barrier layers, etc., achieve at least partial removal of the SARC and/or post-etch residue material(s) in a highly efficient manner.
- Importantly, the compositions of the present invention have a low amount of water, e.g., less than about 1 percent by weight, especially the compositions of Embodiment A and as such, are compatible with metal interconnect layers such as copper, aluminum and cobalt. The copper and/or cobalt etch rates in the presence of the compositions of the invention are preferably less than 5 Å/min, more preferably less than 2 Å/min, most preferably less than 1 Å/min.
- In use of the compositions of the invention for removing SARC materials from microelectronic device substrates having same thereon, the cleaning composition typically is contacted with the device substrate for a time of from about 1 to about 60 minutes, preferably about 20 to about 30 minutes, at temperature in a range of from about 20° C. to about 80° C. Such contacting times and temperatures are illustrative, and any other suitable time and temperature conditions may be employed that are efficacious to at least partially remove the SARC material from the device substrate, within the broad practice of the invention. As defined herein, “at least partial removal” corresponds to at least 50% removal of SARC material, preferably at least 80% removal of SARC material. Most preferably, at least 90% of the SARC material is removed using the compositions of the present invention.
- Following the achievement of the desired cleaning action, the cleaning composition is readily removed from the device to which it has previously been applied, e.g., by rinse, wash, or other removal step(s), as may be desired and efficacious in a given end use application of the compositions of the present invention. For example, the device may be rinsed with deionized water.
- A still further embodiment of the invention relates to methods of manufacturing an article comprising a microelectronic device, said method comprising contacting the microelectronic device with a liquid removal composition for sufficient time to remove SARC and/or post-etch residue materials from the microelectronic device having said materials thereon, and incorporating said microelectronic device into said article, wherein the liquid removal composition includes at least one fluoride-containing compound, at least one organic solvent, optionally water, and optionally, at least one chelator/passivation agent.
